The bandmates of the Moscow international band Zava Matotra have collected for RS a mix of exotic afrobeat, psychedelic jazz-funk and soul music, which inspires them to synthesize European and African culture in their creative work. The selection includes both classic hits of African pop music, and the works of Western musicians which have been formed under its influence.

The new soft-spoken, hard-rocking group from Baltimore debuted their full length live show at the Wolf + Lamb Marcy Hotel this March. Following in the footsteps of greats like Nicolas Jaar and PillowTalk, they were the first invited guest in over 2 years to perform at the legendary Brooklyn proving grounds.

Life on Planets is a duo that met in the studio lofts of their east coast hometown, whereby a collaboration fusing indie artrock and electronic music began to take shape. It was a pairing of two dramatically different personas, merging as one for a serendipitous, romantic sound that's now been signed to the Double Standard label. Life on Planets has also released music through Better on Foot, where the debut single 'Apollo' made waves in early 2014. The touring act features live vocals and guitar, backed by a dj/producer, dawning a long-awaited return to authentic songwriting in dance music.

Axis

The third in a trilogy which highlights my musical journey, where, in the future my albums will be made as mixed genre 

And now for something completely different. Following on from the supercharged and slightly madcap techno stylings of last weeks stellar Donald Trump featuring podcast from the inimitable Remute we have now decided to paddle across the Channel to secure the talents of Nicolas Godin to deliver this weeks exclusive mix. Best known as one half of iconic French electronic outfit Air, we’ve been fans of Nicolas since, well forever and with his hotly anticipated debut album Contrepoint arriving this week via Because Music we thought there’d be no better time than now to welcome the Gallic maestro into the Data Transmission fold.

Inspired by the late Canadian pianist Glenn Gould's reinterpretation of Bach's most celebrated works, Contrepoint sees Godin similarly reshape the legendary composer's music with each track using a Bach piece as as its source, before jumping off to all manner of new places.

 "A musician friend had told me about the two documentaries Bruno Monsaingeon had made about Gould, Hereafter and The Alchemist." the producer explains before adding: "I watched Gould, who is one of the greatest musicians of all time, playing the most beautiful music of all time, Bach. I think the extremely personal way that Gould interpreted Bach goes against all the normal rules of performance, which for me created a new art form. I was immediately attracted to this mysterious and inaccessible universe, which I wanted to explore when I got home to Paris.”

Working in tandem with co-songwriter, arranger, keyboardist and Bach specialist Vincent Taurelle  and a starry international cast of guests, such as French vocalist Gordon Tracks, Brazilian singer Marcelo Camelo, Italian author Alessandro Barrico, New Zealand guitarist Connan Mockasin and the choir from Macedonia’s F.A.M.E.'S. Project, Godin ended up with eight varied and individual pieces.  “Sometimes only thirty seconds of Bach’s original music was left behind." he recalls "But I want people to listen to Contrepoint without noticing that it’s Bach as it’s as much a tribute to all the great composers that have inspired me. Making a record about Bach leads to all composers who have listened to Bach."

Sounds good to us Nicolas!

This mix was made for la Capsule de Sophie, where you can enjoy a beautiful time of relaxation and well being after an intense surf session. It's a collage rather than a mix with some poems from California and small surprises along the way. Take a deep breath and enjoy.
